The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER postponed the Budget last night to next Friday, the 18th instant. The Right Hon. Gentleman postponed this important subject immediately bafore Sir THOMAS ACLAND had given notice of his intention to move on Monday next, on the Order of the Day for going into a Committee on Irish tithe resolu tions, that the resolutions of April 7 and 8, 1835, be re scinded. W e arc net aware that there is any connection between these subjects. except the mere juxta-position, but that eves rise to some suspicions that the two are con nected. The resolutions in question constitute the decla ration of the necessity of introducing into any measure for settling the tithes in Ire:and a clause that any surplus re venues should be appropriated to the purposes of ge• neral education. They are the parents, in fact, of the appropriation clause, and of the existence of the pre sent Ministry. On them the MELBOURNE Administration came into power. Unfortunately for the Ministry, they have, though from, perhaps, commendable motives, not in. troduced this clause into the resolutions they have proposed this Session, for settling the tithe question. Willing to settle that, if possible, which they knew they could not do unless, somewhat in deference to the opinions of the Conservatives, they framed their present plans, as Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, on a new basis ; and the Conservatives now turn round and assail them with their own weapon. We said on the 28th of March, the instant we read Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S announcement, that if his resolutions " do not maintain and carry out, to some extent, the principle of appropriation, they will do irreparable injury to the cha racter of Lord JOHN RUSSELL and the Ministry." Our words arc now verified. The Eranziner of Sunday week attacked them severely on the subject, and on Monday Sir THOMAS ACLAND will demonstrate, according to their own resolutions, that they turned out their opponents on an impracticable, if not a factious question. That will be the consequence of their having given up the great principle which distinguishes them from the Tories, and which chiefly makes them acceptable to the enligh tened and not higotted public. They are now, however, to be assailed on that principle which all true Reformers at this period most earnestly desire to see enforced, and for its sake, and the sake of the public peace, which we believe will be involved in the decision, we trust that this new attack of the Tories will be defeated, as was their attack on the less defensible post of our foreign policy. If ever there was a time, and if ever there was an occasion when the House of Commons ought to affirm, and re-affirm, the eropriating Church property to other than ;s, if it think fit, that time and that occasion ed, for the Clergy of the whole empire, d ep i scopa l, have united with the Tories, Forcibly to extort money from the public for maintaining, in spite of the people, the ominion of the priesthood. ied on Wednesday that Dr. CHALMERS pro :ctures, a gigantic plan of endowing a priest portion of one clergyman to every 700 per sons, who should make it his particular business to in troduce himself into families, and bring the whole of his congregation under his influence and controul. On look ing back to the debate in the House of Lords on March 30th, we have no doubt that such a plan is in entire ac cordance with the views of the Bishop of LONDON, and the Evangelical party of the clergy of the Church of England, who are anxious to obtain a power as great as ever was possessed by the Catholic priesthood, either in Paraguay, in Spain, or in Ireland. With such a power every form of civil Government would be impossible, ex cept that which pleased the priesthood. In this country they are already superior to the present Administration, and render all improvement impossible. In Germany they thwart the best organized Government which exists, and Prussia is now agitated by their ambition from Cologne to Posen. We believe that the motion of Sir T.ACLAND, taken in conjunction with Dr. CHALMEICS visit to this metropolis, is only a part of a great plan to overthrow the present Administration, and re-establish the power of the Priest hood in these gradually-becoming free and tolerant islands ; and we believe that this is only an off-set of the still greater and more extensive plan in which the priesthood have been at all times engaged, in order to establish or preserve a dominion over the minds of man kind. Such a scheme all wise Statesmen of every party should resist ; to that plan however the bigoted Tories are accessories with a view to regain possession of power, for their rule is associated with all that is benighted, degrad ing and destructive. On these grounds, we believe that the best interests of the human race and the immediate peace of the country, are deeply involved in the motion to turn out the present Ministers, on the principle of rescind ing those resolutions, which affirm the power of parliament to appropriate the revenues of the Church to useful and secular national purposes. The unanimity with which the House of Commons last night adopted Sir ROBERT INGLIS'S motion fer an address to the Crown, praying her MAJESTY, in conjunction with her allies to declare the slave-trade, by whomsoever carried on, piracy, and to order it to be punished as such, will not fail to spread consternation among the slave-holding States of the Old and New kVorld. By a reference to the speech of Lord PALMERSTON, it will be seen that the Government is fully prepared to go all lengths to put an end to this horrible traffic. What persuasion and mosey could do to abolish slavery throughout the world, England has done to an extent which must obtain for her the admiration of future ages ; but as these means have not been succassful —as it has been attempted to make her the dupe of nations indifferent to the faith of treaties—we rejoice to find her Government prepared to assert the sacred majesty of inter national law, and the still more sacred rights of outraged humanity. When the determination of the British Ministry and Parliament, to put an end to this detestable traffic at all hazards, is made known to the Government of the United States, we cannot believe that Congress will rush into a collision with all the great Powers of Europe, rather than cease to connive at the atrocities perpetrated for the sole interest of a minority of their own citizens. With respect to Por tugal and the South American Republics, the best cor rective is force. We have reasoned with them long enough to no purpose—exclusive of the vast sums we have paid them for co operating with us in the performance of what they are bound to regard as a double duty. The speech of Lord PALMERSTON last night will go a great way towards allaying the irritation caused-by the conduct of the Government in opposing the immediate abolition of the Negro Apprentices. Even Mr. THomrsoN—whose excellent speech at the Great Anti-Slavery Meeting, held in Dublin, on Monday last, will be found in The Sun of to-day—will speak less harshly of the intentions of the Ministry after reading the Parliamentary exposition of the Noble Foreign Secretary. Nothing could be more explicit than the declarations of the Noble Lord, and as many of them were volunteered, we regard them as so many proofs of the perfect sincerity of the Cabinet upon the question. Mr. WAKLEY alleged as reasons for bringing the Cop - right question again under the consideration of the House of Commons, tit! thinness of the House and the smallness ' of the majority when the subject was formerly discussed. If these were the only grounds for re-opening the discussion we think we may now conclude that it is finally closed, for it can scarcely be contended that the House was thin on Wednesday night, when one hundred and eighty Members vot , il on the questior, or that the majority of Ety-two, which decided it, was a small one. The result of the debate has justified the anti,ipation which we expressed on a former occasion, that the time was not far distant n hen the rights of authors would be as fully acknowledged as those of other men. For this result, the literary class are indebted, in some measure, to the injudicious hostility of a very fee; individuals, whose practice it is to live on the lahours of others, and whose short-sighted cupi dity prompted them in an evil hour, to attempt to clamour down the voice of justice. Why Mr. \VAK LEY should have made himself the instrument of such men for such a purpos., it is not for us to conjec- If the Hon. Gentleman intended to set the House in a blaze by his eloquence, we think he might have chosen a fitter subject. But be that as it may, those authors, whose works he enumerated in his speech, as being so greatly depreciated, have, it is said, some reason to com plain of unfairness in the selection made by the Hon. Gentleman, who ought not to have omitted from his cheap list, a well-known periodical yeTept " The Lancet," cart loads of which; it is reported, are sent every week, to in crease Mr. TEGG'S already overgrown stock, and for which that calculating personage cannot be prevailed upon to give more than a penny a number, thinking it after all no great ture• bargain. We must, however, guard the public against the belief that Mr. TEGG and Mr. WAKLEY in their proceedings against the Bill represent the publishers. From communica• Lions which we have received from some of the most ex tensive publishers in the kingdom, we are warranted to say that they are not adverse to the principle of the measure, though they disapprove of some of the details. The clause to which the greatest objection seems to be made, is that by which the Copyright is made to revert to the author's re presentatives at the expiry of the present term. This the publishers allege is unjust to them, as it debars them from the privilege which they now enjoy of publishing an author's works after his death, without entering into a new arrangement with the representatives. Now, if there be any injustice here, publishers have no greater reason to com plain than any other persons, for it must be observed that they purchase the Copyright only for a certain period, and therefore with that period their exclusive interest expires. No publisher can come forward and say that he is by this Bill deprived of anything for which he has ;liven value. All the claim that he can reasonably put in is, for a privilege, if so it may be called, which is com men to every subject of the British Empire, or to speak more correctly, to every individual of the human race, inasmuch as every one has an equal right with him to publish any work of which his purchased Copyright has expired. Sir ROBERT PEEL last night moved for leave to bring in a Bill to regulate the jurisdiction of the House in the case of Controverted Elections. He repudiated at once the idea of depriving the House of its jurisdiction, and explained at great length the imperfections of the present tribunals. He might have taken this for granted, and might have spared himself, except for the purpose of a little display, the trouble of demonstrating what all the world knows. As to Sir ROBERT'S own plan, which devolves on the SPEAKER the power of appointing, at the commencement of each Session, a Committee of four or six Members, which Committee is to nominate the tribunal, consisting of seven Members, to try each Controverted Election, we hold it to be far worse, and more certain to give rise to party injus tice, than any plan yet submitted to the House. The SPEAKER is altogether the organ of the majority —and when a power is placed in his hands of deter mining who shall try Controverted Elections, the majority will place in the chair that person who is the least scrupu lous, and most capable of promoting their views. Sir ROBERT gives a remedy for partiality ; first, by submitting the Committee chosen by the SPEAKER ; and, secondly, by sub mitting the Committees chosen by the SPEAKER'S 'Com mittee, if objected to, to the judgment of the House ; but the same majority which will appoint as SPEAKER the most unscrupulous and most capable man they can find—when he has their power of increasing and securing the majority of his own friends—will support all his nominations, and Principle of apps ,V).• , \ • li urposes - 1- ' . : ---- "lral'e id;; Arrive ~..,. presbyteri and ;f,, factiously 'and f ol ..... the pnrpoSei of ). ,7 - .....-A'..,;-... f ,- • ...4 1 L ., .:VV, TIT P. ' e lone, 41 . jap o.s 4, ' is Le ii. .., in the prof THE kUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 11, 1838. the nominations of his Committee, in spite of the mino rity. Thus Sir ROBERT PEEL'S plan goes to legalize the injustice which every tyrant majority—and no tyrant majo rity is equal to a Tory majority—would be sure to practise. In our opinion this is a fatal objection to his scheme ; and it is of no use in reply to us, for Legislators who give man kind at large no credit whatever for the least particle of good sense or virtue, to say, as Sir ROBERT PEEL did, that "the SPEAKER will look to higher objects than consulting the in terests of a party." ASpeaker who had no such duties to per form might, but when he shall be placed in the Chair as the unscrupulous organ of a faction, as by Sir ROBERT PEEL'S plan he will assuredly be, he will be neither checked nor awed by public opinion. To such a man the opinion of his party is public opinion, and whatever political iniquity he might be guilty of to serve his friends, he would ha% e their countenance and support. We place not the least confidence in the virtue of politicians. The very man who tells us to rely on the SPEAKER'S virtue, and who is himself the most specious of his class, only the night before last voted in contradiction to his own previously expressed opinion, and what is far worse, contrary to reason and justice, to please his party, against a Bill to which no other fault could be alleged, than that it might possibly admit of our ships being more cheaply victualled, and of a little more food being surreptitiously obtained by our hungry and poorly fed people. The majority of that very assembly, too, of which the SPEAKER is to be the organ, is composed of land lords who, in spite of all decency, and an utter defiance of justice, make laws to enrich themselves, by enhancing the price and limiting the supply of food to the people. To tell us to repose the slightest confidence on the dic tates of such an assembly, when the Members suppose that their interest or their ambition is concerned, is to mock us, and to set at naught the whole history of political factions. For our own parts, when we witness the landlords in both Houses, so unblushingly and dishonestly making and main taining a starvation law, in order to enrich themselves, there is nothing too bad for us to believe that such men will commit, for the interest of their order. The lesson they every day teach us is—that all man kind are sinful, ignorant, selfish—not to be trusted, but to be coerced into goodness. On this principle, they will neither allow us to eat nor to drink, with out submitting to their regulations ; we must, in many cases, neither buy nor sell without asking their leave, or as they prescribe; they will not trust to our own notions of reli gion, nor to our own views of what is for our temporal good; and these men who daily preach these doctrines now pro pose to select one of themselves, and to confer on him, be cause of his contemplation of high objects, the power in all cases of disputed election to decide who shall be the re presentatives of the people. When the majority of the House of Commons shall be angels instead of Corn-law making landowners, we shall believe that the Speaker they will elect may be confided in to execute with honesty and justice such functions, and such power over the represen tation, as Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Bill would place in his hands. The new Agricultural Society, of which the resolution s appear in another place, is, we believe, very much wanted. If it can instruct the farmers in other knowledge as well as in improving modes of agriculture, its services will not be thrown away. The agriculture of England, which was once the pattern of the world, is now much inferior, ac cording to the statements made at the meeting this week, to the agriculture of other countries, and the political knowledge of the English agriculturists seems equally backward. As the Society promises, we think, to improve the farmer in both particulars, by encouraging habits of in vestigation, we wish it every success. Were we to place confidence in the intelligence received in the course of the last few days from Spain, we should not hesitate to pronounce the ruin of Don CARLOS on the eve of final accomplishment. But the rebels have been so often " annihilated" by the QUEEN'S Generals during the last three years—and all to no purpose—that we have be come exceedingly sceptical on the subject of the result of v:ctorics, however complete. The Correspondent of a Morning Contemporary, writing from the Spanish capital, under date of the Ist inst., thus epitomizes the offiei account of the triumph of the constitutional arms in •the brig f space of a few days . " whcri Espartero stated in his dispatch of yesterday that the faction of Negri no lon:2;er existed, he rn,rely stated a truth, without the least exaggcratien. The intelligence received here since of the event con firm:, the statement of the Commander-in-Chief, and gives an additional importance to the victory. On the 25th ult. 237 chiefs and officers, 1,333 private soldiers, 500 muskets, and two piccei of cannon, entered Burgos, escorted by the first regiment of the Guards and a squadron of Polish Lancers. Besides those who were taken yrisoners by Espartero, 700 others of the fiction who went over to the Queen's troops were brought to Breviesca on the same day, with a view of forming them into a second battalion of Guides. Marie, who entered Burgos on the same day, a:so brought with him 300 deserters from the faction, so that the whole of them, together with about 100 more who were made prisoners by detachments of the national troops belonging to Prcbenasco and 1110- naste:io, amount in all to the round sum of 2,617 men lost to Don Carlos on this occasion." The crowning victory was ccmmunicated to the French Government on Wednesday, in the following official bul- Berlin of the 6th inst. enclose copies of a correspondence of the Private Secretary of the Archbishop of COLOGNE, seized at the house of Dr. BENTERIM, in which we can dis cover nothing of any interest to our English readers : CPIRISTIANIA, APRIL 26.—A resolution of his Majesty of the I Ith of this month, to revoke all the prohibitions to use the Norwegian Com mercial flag in certain seas; so that Norwegian merchandise shall beat liberty to use the Commercial flag, as beyond Cape Finisterre, as in all other more remote seas, but with the understanding, that till this flag is recognised by the Barbary States, they will do so at their own risk of being captured or molested ; at the same time Norwegian ships are at liberty, if it was desired, to use the Union Commercial flag. General joy was manifested by the inhabitants of the capital, and most of the houses were illuminated. VIENNA, APRIL 27.—1 t is thought that the family of Charles X. will return to Kirchberg in the suumer. The Duchess of Angouleme will pass some days at Vienna. ST. PETERSBURG'', APRIL 'S.—The last accounts from the Caucasus announce the death of the brave commander of our army in this country, Lieut.-General Saminoff, after a long illness. The Emperor's physi cian, who was sent by the Emperor to the Caucasus some weeks ago to attend him, did not arrive in time to find him alive. This loss will be severely felt, for in the fifteen years during which he had filled his office there with the greatest zeal, he had acquired the most intimate know ledge of the country and the people. His successor is Lieut.-General Grabbe, who has hitherto commanded the troops in the Caucasian fron tier, and in the territory of the Cossacks of the Black Sea. HANOVER, MAY 3 —To-day, for the first time since the adjournment, there was a sufficient number of members of the Second Chamber pre sent to constitute a House—that is to say, just one half of the whole.

CITY ( THIS DAY), TWELVE O'CLOCK. We have received the Journal of Commerce of Antwerp of yesterday's date, bringing the Amsterdam prices. They are the same as per yer terciay's Dutch mails. Nothing in them respecting the affairs of Luxem bourg. It - is stated from Frankfort—" All we can say respecting the fair is, that a great number of persons have been here; but very few pur chasers. The retail merchants are in expectation of selling a good deal during the last week of the fair." It appears that Count Toren° has been in Paris for these eight days past, where he wishes to remain as long as possible incognito. He also evades appearing in public for fear of being known ; but he has already commenced a new negociation with some capitalists in Paris, to con. elude for a Spanish loan. I etin : - - " On the 30th tilt. Brigadier Aspiroz gained an advantage over . the band of Viscarre, near Canete, and on the 3d inst. General Pardmas came up with Basilio at Bejar, and defeated him completely, with the loss of 130 officers, and 500 soldiers, prisoners. Nothing new had oc curred in the northern provinces." The developement of the result of so many victories we shall leave to time, and, as Marshal CLAUSEL would say " the illustrious sword" of that equally slow world devourer, ESPARTERO. The Paris Journals of Wednesday have all been received Ti e (Matte contains a telegraphic despatch from Bayonne, which will be found in our Spanish article. The Monileur of the same day has the fol!owing communication from Africa : " Toulon, Bth May, 51 A.m, Algiers, 4th May. "MARSHAL VALEE TO THE MINISTER OF WAR. " The army has taken possession of Belida. I have established a camp on a position which commands on the west that part of the plain which is between the town and the Chiffa. A second camp to the east covers the communication between Mered and the camp of the west. These camps command the roads with end at Belida. .The inhabitants and the neighbouring tribes made no resistance. The Hachem of Belida, the Caid of the Beni Salahs, and the Caid of the HadJoutes, came to my head-quarters, and accompanied me in the tour which I made to examine the fortifications of the town, and to reconnoitre the gorge by which the Oued el Kcbir flows out. A great number of Beni Salahs, who had followed their Caid, were assembled before the gate of Medea, and had ther arms at their feet in tooken of submission. Every thing is in the greatest tranquility in the province of Algiers." The Chamber of Deputies was still busied with the Rail way Bills, the discussions upon which were expected to occupy nearly the whole of the sittings of the present week. The Supplementary Credit Bill passed the Chamber of Peers on Wednesday by a majority of 99 votes against 7. Marshal SOULT was one of its most strenuous supporters. We have no new fact connected with the trial of HunEaT and his accomplices. Annexed are extracts from the Jour nals : Prince Talleyrand was on Monday afternoon at the Tuileries, having, it is said, been called there by a message from the King. Those who pretend to be well informed state that the Prince had recommended the proposition of a new conference of the Powers who are parties to the Quadruple Alliance, to enter again on the question of Spain, and the means of bringing the civil war to an end. The Congress is to be held at Paris, and the Prince will undertake the task of continuing that which he commenced at London. This, it is added, will be a prelude to a quasi-European Congress on the affairs of the East. The last letters from M. Bresson encourage a hope that Prussia will accede to this pro. posal, which has already been made to her, and that Prince Metternich h as no oireection, except to the period named for the meeting. It is be lieved that the Representatives of the different Sovereigns will hold their assembly at Versailles. -Bon Sens. sailedear Admiral l We have the follow in g letter from Smyrna :- • APRIL 21.-" The Alesange schooner has arr i ved from Toulon, with very , and o n th e lhth, the also the Mesange.

The Woodstock election has been decided in favour of the Marquis of Blandford, but the majority of the Tories is not so great as at the general election. The rising sun and the Tory trustees have carried it against the Duke of Marlborough, who is upwards of 70, and the person he supported. The Marquis of Blandford, however, is said to have received several bad votes, and a petition will be pre sented against his return: An Association has been formed for the exclusive right of using in this country the Asphalte of the mines of Lobson, in the department of the Lower Rhine, in France. The capital of the Association is to be 369,0004, deposit 31., and 21. premium per share. Subscriptions to that effect have been opened in Paris, at the offices of the eminent banking-house of Messrs. Perier, Freres; and in London, at Mr. Wm. H. Green's, solicitor, Basinghall-street. The shares of the French Company of Lobson, issued at 1,000 francs each, were sold a few days back in Paris, at 3,000 francs each ; and the shares of the English Company, although not yet issued, command a premium of 61. to 71. CORN LAws.—Can there be a stronger proof of the injury inflicted by the Corn laws, not only on the working clas;es, but on the many thousands possessing mines and en gaged in trade in this country, than the following facts stated by Mr. G. R. Porter :—" That part of our commerce which, being carried on with the richest and most civilised inhabitants of European nations, should present the greatest field for extension, will be seen to have fallen off in a remarkable degree. The average annual exports to the whole of Europe were less in value by nearly 20 per cent., in the five years from 1832 to 1836, than they were in the five years that followed the close of the war, and it aflbrds strong evi. dence of the unsatisfactory footing upon which our trading regulations with Europe arc established, that our exports to the United States of America, which, with their population of only twelve millions, are re moved to a distance from us of 3,000 miles across the Atlantic, have amounted to more than one-half of the value of our shipments to the whole of Europe, with a population fifteen times as great as that of the United States of America, and with an abundance of productions suited to our wants, and which they are desirous of exchanging for the produce ofour mines and looms." IMPRUDENT ZEAL.—On Wednesday evening, a lecture was delivered at St. Clement's Church, in Lever-street, in this town, on the " Popish Mass." Amongst the hearers was an Irishman, named Patrick Burns, who, when the preacher was attacking the doc trines of transubstantiation and purgatory, got up and declared for the true Catholic faith. The wardens of the Chapel endeavoured to pacify him, but could not succeed, and they eventually handed him over to the custody of a police-officer. lie was brought up at the New Bailey on Thursday, when these facts were stated. In his defence, Patrick de. Glared he was defending his religion, and he was ready to bear the punts • hment. After a reprimand from Mr. Maude, he was discharged. Manchester Guardian. NEGRO APPRENTICESHIP.—A very numerous and highly respectable meeting was held last Monday in Dublin, at the Ro tunda, for the purpose of advocating the entire emancipation of the negroes in the West India colonies, and the abolition of negro appren ticeship. Tea-totalism, if we infer from the reports of total abstinence meetings, published by the country papers generally, is on the increase. Anti-alcoholism appears to be the prevalent fashion. SOUTHWARK LITERARY SOCIETY.—A very numerous and highly respectable meeting of the members and friends of this institution was held yesterday at the Bridge house Tavern, London bridge-end, Southwark, for the purpose of devising means of placing it on a m ore permanent a n d use f ul footing, by the erection of suitable pre. m i tes . The chair was taken at two o'clock, by E. L. Bulwer, Esq., M.P. The first resolution, expressive of the opinion of the meeting respecting the utility of societies for the promotion and diffusion of literature and science, was proposed by Mr. Daniel Whittle Harvey, M.P., who stated that the Southwark Institution had now been established upwards of five years, so that its advantages were not wholly prospective. It now Los sessed upwards of 300 members, whilst the crowded state of the rooms which they occupied showed that their present accommodation was wholly inadequate. Amongst the various arguments for the diffUsion of useful knowledge he knew of none more cogent than what an examina tion of the criminal records would exhibit, where its gradual influence, although imperfect, was very perceptible. The Secretary read letters apologising for absence and inclosing donations to the building fund, from Mr. Alderman Humphery, M.P., 10 guineas; C. Barclay, Esq., late M.P. for Surrey, 501.; H. Kemblo, Esq., M P., 10 guineas; Ben. jamin Hawes, Esq., M.P., 10/, 10s. ; and a similar donation was also an nounced from Mr. Harvey, M.P. Several resolutions, embodying the principles on which the proposed institution is to be carried into effect having been passed, the meeting adjourned. It is said that a detachment of the band of Cabanero has captured, on the road to Calatayud, a very beautiful assortment of fashionable novelties, sent from Paris to Queen Christina, and which cost 60,000 f. The news of this capture has greatly vexed the Queen Regent, and a person has leen sent to treat with Cabanero for the pur chase of these articles. It is very probable that the Carlist chief will give them up for a sum of money, for they are articles of no use except to a lady.—Journal des Debats, FUNERAL OF MR. RIDGWAY. This morning, the mortal remains of Mr. Ridgway, the well-known publisher, were conveyed to their last resting place. Mr. Ridgway might be termed the patriarch of the London publishers—for he had reached the advanced age of 84—the greater part of which long period he had been engaged in the publishing business. He commenced., we believe, as a news agent, and his operations in this line of business were at his death very extensive: He entered the trade at that most interesting era of our history, the closing p art of the last century, when the light of the succeeding age was but just glimmering through the darkened political horizon — when the rising waves of that mighty ocean of knowledge, which is now overspreading the land, were but beginning to floe', and the vast power which the press has since ac quired was yet in its infancy. The contemporary of Pitt and Fox, of Burke and Wyndham, and of Wilberforce—Mr. Ridgway might be considered the last link which con nected the literature of the past and present centuries. During the stormy period of the French Revolution, when party spirit ra❑ high,"Mr. Ridgway suffered—not for his own opinions—but for that manly independence which characterised his life—by holding sacred the trust reposed in him by others. Rather than divulge the name of an author, he suffered imprisonment in his own person for several years. This honourable conduct ensured Mr. Ridgway the confidence of the most eminent Whigs through life. In fact, his devotion to th cause of freedom 'and of truth could only be exceeded by his exemplary private character. • These circumstances invested his decease with more than ordinary interest. At one o'clock the hearse left the residence in Piccadilly, and proceeded towards Chelsea, the interment being to take place at the Moravian burial ground, King's-road. Six mourning coaches followed, containing the relatives and friends of the deceased gentleman, who was much esteemed, both for his long and high standing in the trade, and for his ex cellent private character. Many of the first members of the trade attended to manifest their respect for the me mory of their venerable associate ; and among the mourners we observed C. Hindley, Esq., M.P. CORONATION. MEETING AT THE FREEMASONS' TAVERN.—(THIS DAY.) According to public advertisement, a meeting for the purpose of pe titioning for the postponement of the Coronation, was held at the Flee masons' Tavern this day. 4 The Marquis of LONDONDERRY took the Chair at one o'clock, by which time the room was tolerably well filled. The Noble CHAIRMAN said he felt it his duty In taking the Chair on that occasion to express the sense he felt of the high honour which had been conferred upon him by being desired to preside over a meeting of the trades of London. He would endeavour to preside over the meeting with impartiality, and he hoped that no expression of poli tical feeling would be given, though in such times all must feel much interested them. He need not detain them long, as he had **early given expression to his opinion in his place in Parliament, as well as in a letter which had received general circulation. He was there to fulfil a duty—if he did it with satisfaction to them, he would receive all the reward he wished. He would say a few words upon the matter, and would consider it in two views. The first was the great and undue hastening of the proceeding; the second was, the great curtailment of the ceremony.—(Loud cheers.) With respect to the first, the period formerly was chosen after the prorogation of Parlia ment, when there should be an august ceremony. Why should it be fixed in the middle of the London season—(Cheers)—which would put an end to the business of London - It was said in excuse that her Majesty intended to give fetes and balls after the coronation. Why could not her Majesty give these fetes and balls before the ceremony ? —(Cheers)—would not the rank and nubility of the country, who were obliged to attend the ceremony, immediately after hasten clown to their homes or watering places. In fact the town immediately after the cere ' ninny would be free from all the usual festivities of a London season. With respect to the curtailment of the ceremony there had already been some change, and no doubt it had been brought about by their good sense and interference. There was to be a procession of carriages, but that would be nothing more than the usual procession at 'a Drawing room. How could the Nobility have new carriages built in the short time allowed by the Government ? Of course then they could not buy horses, and all would suffer. But if there were to be a walking procession the matter would be very different, for the time allowed would enable them to embellish themselves with the silks, and velvets, and all those things which made work for the tradesmen.—(Cheers) It would give a great impetus to all trades in the country.—(Cheers.) Then again there was to be an end pat to the banquet. Why should that be in a country which was one of the most hospitable in the world ? —(Cheers.) The last Coronation was not to be taken as a precedent, for his gracious Majesty felt that age was coming upon him, and knowing that his isuccessor was young, he gave up his will. It was well known that the late King felt old age creeping fast upon him, and wished to have the processions, &c. of the coronation curtailed as much as possible,bocause he could not endure the fatigue. They had a long and auspicious reign before them.—(Hear, hear.) They had a young person, who, thank Almighty God, had the strong health to ride fourteen or fifteen miles a-day, to see her loving subjects at the theatre, and to see them at the drawing-room.—(Cheers.) She had, thank God, the strong constitution of the house of Brunswick.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) And therefore it was absurd to say she could not endure the fatigue of a procession and a banquet.--(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) They very often heard of " tea and turn out," but on this occasion they were to have a turn out and no tea.—(Laughter.) Was the argu ment of economy to be used ? He had thought it proper to look at the Excise returns for the year in which the Allied Sovereigns came over to this countryand the year of the coronation of George IV. The gross re ceipt of the Excise in one year, ending the sth of January, 1820, was 27,255,8101. The gross receipt of the following year, ending January, 1821, was 31,298,7331, In the year ending January, 1822, the re ceipt was 31,812,985/, therefore between the year 1821 and 1822, there was an increase of 600,0001.—(Hear.) It was right that they should know what the real sense of the Trades of this country was. The Trades fell that when all the flower of the world were coming to vie with each other in appearing before our virgin Queen, the artisan and manufac turer ought to feel the benefit of it.—(Hear.) They were bound to make their representations to her Majesty and the Legislature. The Noble Chairman, after having apologised for detaining the meeting so long, expressed a hope that all parry and political questions would be banished from their discussion.—(Cheers.) • Sir WALTER JAMES felt great pleasure in coming forward to move the first resolution. It would be perfectly in the recollection of every one present, that on the occasion of the Coronation of his late Majesty William the Fourth great dissatisfaction and discontent was expressed that it was not solemnized in a more becoming and fitting manner. If he might be permitted to allude to such things in such an assembly, he would remind them that the subject had been caricatured by a clever artist—" H. B."—who termed it " The Half Coronation," and repre sented his Majesty going to his Coronation in a hackney-coach.—(A laugh.) What would the great Marshal Soult, the representative of the French nation, or the representatives of Austria or Russia, say, if on their first landing they should be presented with a caricature of her Majesty going to her Coronation in a hackney-coach, and the great Ministers of State in an omnibus ?—(Great laughter.) He would ask, was that consistent with the dignity of that mighty empire ?—(Hear, and cheers.) He was sure the trades of London would not— (No, no.) He met a gentleman who had been on the Continent a few days ago, and he told him (Sir W. James), that being in Frankfort, he saw a large crowd in one of the streets, and it turned out to be a number of Germans, looking, with the greatest re spect and admiration, at a portrait of their young and beautiful Queen. —(Great cheering.) He could assure them that the approaching cere mony would attract European attention, and ought to be solemnized in a proper and decorous mariner. He would not allude to the indecent manner in which it had been hurried on, in the middle of the London season. First it was put on, then it was put off, and then it was put on again—( A laugh)—in a manner perfectly unjustifiable. He would ray that the interests of that great country had been sacrificed the interests of the Aristocracy, the interests of the gentry and the landed interest had been assailed—the true interests of the farmer, who fed the manufacturer, had been overlooked—and what is more, he might say without political allusion, that the interests of the manufacturers and the merchants bad Leen despised.—(No.) He would ask what that meant? The most profligate spendthrift well knew, that when he was cutting clown his timber, he must lop off the spreading branches before he could assail the 'Royal trunk, and he would say that the shabbi ness of the present Ministry— (Loud cries of " No, no," hissing, great confusion, followed by cries of " Off, off.") The Noble CHAIRMAN at length rose. He did not think the gentleman was out of order in alluding to the shabby course taken by Government.— (No, no.) That was Iris allusion, and he would ask them whether instead of the former splendid and magnificent ceremony, they were to have a hackney-coach and carriage procession. Was not that shabby ?—(Cheers and laughter.) If anything like political or party feeling was evinced, he would have felt it his duty as Chairman to check it. Sir W. JAAIES resumed. He begged to apologise for the remark that had unintentionally fallen from him. The Noble Marquis had certainly introduced the subject in a very proper correct and gentlemanly manner. He certainly could not call the ceremony as it was to be conducted splendid or magnificent, and he had used an opposite term in the heat of debate, which he was willing to suppress. All he would add was, that the Queen they now had was " every inch a Queen ;" and she ought not to be deprived of that chivalrous pageantry that rightfully be. longed to one who occupied the throne of the Plantagenets.—(Cheers.) Mr. DYNEVOR seconded the resolution. No man now living could expect to witness another coronation. Their present Queen was a lady, and when she ascended the throne it was under circutnstances more sanguine than ever occurred before. It was to be lamented that all those splendid decorations, which had formerly given the most magnificent impressions of that country to foreigners should be curtailed. _ He had heard no substantial reason for the present pro ceeding but economy, but if the sutn of money required for a walking procession had been expended, as in the time of George the Fourth, it • would materially benefit the trading interests. Let them look at the state of the Spitalfields weavers, and the appeals made on their behalf to the charitable sympathies of the public—(Hear, hear) — The economy put forward on the present occasion reflected immortal disgrace upon the persons who proposed it.—(Mr. D. here paused, and at length referred to some notes which he held in his hand. This in cident occasioned great laughter, and there were loud cries of " Read, read, read.") He begged to apologise, as the present was the first public meeting he had ever attended. The coronation he would repeat could be shorn of its splendour, and he for one would rather enter into a subscription and put his own name at the head of the list, and he pledged himself to supply any deficiency there might be in the revenue.—(Laughter.) He believed the Government were proceed ing in ignorance of the feelings of the people, and when the true state of their sentiments were before them they would alter their intentions.— (Long continued cheering,) He begged to second the resolution. Mr. VINCENT then presented himself, and said, before the resolution was put, he had an amendment to move.—(Cheers and uproar.) He had been delighted with the commencement of the proceedings, by the fair and impartial mode adopted by their respected Chairman. He had an amendment to propose, and if the meeting decided against him he would be satisfied with their decision. The advertisement calling the meeting stated that the Coronation was of vital importance to the peer and the peasant ; but he, as one of the working classes, took a somewhat different view of the subject from the Noble Chairman. It was proper, upon such an occasion, that there should not be an ap. peal to the passions of the people. The appeal ought to be made to their reason and intelligence —aye, even on so great an occasion as a Corona `lion. He was of opinion that it mattered very little what the respective Sovereigns ofEurope thought of the Coronation of our Queen.—(Uproar and great confusion, which lasted for a considerable time.) At last The Noble CHAIRMAN said the great subject they all had in view required, and at a great public meeting it was nece.sary, that they should preserve order. They might lose two hours hearing the applauders and dissentients to the Honourable Member. He should, therefore, wish it ie to be put to the meeting whether it was their wish that he should 1 heard or not ?---(Cheers.) Mr. VINCENT submitted whether it was just that he should ba so in , terrupted. Let them hear him, and if his sentiments did not pleasa, them, he gave them credit for sufficient reason to vote against his amendment.—(" Read it," and uproar.) He would read his Amend ment but it was necessary that he should be heard after wards in explanation. His amendment was," That the Governm. 5535 fully justified in conducting the Coronation at the-smallest possi tAe ex " pense, and on the day first named, in consequence of the distressc c° , n. dition of a great portion of the working classes.—(Cheers.) ; seer `o d . l c ) ti '' because of the depressed state of the revenue ; and thirdly, (to ' 6 .1" he especially called the attention of every reasonable man,) bee: 05 . Coronations are useless and expensive."—(Great uproa r for some o sidelable time.) The Noble CHAIRMAN again interfered, saying he was extremely de':: sirous of throwing himself upon the consideration of the meeting, the purpose of being enabled to perform the duty thrown upon him• b e bA c gged to tell the Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Vinc ent ) that he Wa' called upon to preside by the trades of London, but h e had not ome there to hear it stated that Coronations were useless. Mr. VIN CENT—I will withdraw that past of it.—(Cries of " No. ") The CitatemaN—Such an amendment r.sught not to be put to a a -meeting called for such a purpose as that one had been. Mr. VINCENT again attempted to speak, whim.. created more coati" sion than ever, which lasted for a considerable time. At last soi ' , l; t h io e n C r l I , A a I d a: s t i a n N e , e a N m vh id ie s r t , m2cahnicconndflionnt, had dd been ny h s - tel heard the re nations were useless.—(Great uproar.) moved that Coro- The amendment and resolution having been put, major ity. The CHAIRMAN declared the resolution carried by a large TrIN The other side however claimed it, and would not be pacified. Mr. LAWRENCE then came forward to propose the second resoiot 4 7 in which was the signal for increased uproar and confusion ; it was in that he attempted to obtain a hearing, as every sentence he utter was mt with such upror as prevented a wrd being heard. Mr. e PITT, amid continued confusion, wished to speak to a poin t 4'° order. At this moment the uproar was beyond description. Mr. LAWRENCE, again attempted to speak, but met with the sam e r . • ception, and after several ineffectual attempts he sat down. ted Mr. Pm' then addressed the meeting, but the confusion p reven us catching a single sentence. He thought it was not fair, un o n an occasion like the present, for one who called himself °. of the peopie, to come forward and propose an amendment to a nl ° tion for putting off the Coronation for a month or two, that Coronaf lions were useless. He could not give the Noble Lord in the chee credit for all the feelings he had expressed on the present occ asion, . bu t, he wished that those who came forward to disturb the present Ince ing would follow his example.—(Cheers.) og Mr. LAWRENCE then again attempted to obtain h ear ing, but fit it useless,he placed the resolution in the hands of the Noble chairrna.”; fur the purpose of his reading ; upon his rising to do so the confusion v. 3 increased in a tenfold degree but The Cnarnmsar—Let us have reason—let us have argum ent, don't let us have noise.--(lncreased uproar and clamour-) Mr. LAWRENC6 then proceeded, amidst the greates;t confusion and, noise, to address the meeting, and concluded by moving a resolution ot, the effect, that the meeting deeply regretted the procession on fcn i and that many of the ancient usages were to be dispensed with. anbe which they felt would affect the dignity of the country , anu most detrimental to many branches of commerce and .manufacture_r_ and that the Coronation being fixed for so early a period, seas a cir stance heretofore unusual, and would naturally tend to shorten the season, and interfere with arrangements already entered intooY the great injury of tradesmen and citizens. Mr. BARWISE seconded the resolution. th e Mr. VINCENT then stood upon a chair, and attempted to ad dress meeting, which was the signal for renewed uproar and noise. rg pis The CHAIRMAN then rose, and for some time beat the 2,1"0b1e Ma and Mr. Vincent were addressing the meeting togethe:. k- Mr. VINCENT said he had an amendment to put, a.nd afte r m o v ed ing for some length of time amidst the greatest noise, de. the following amendment :—" That economy is requisite in every3o. partment of the State ; that expense cannot be incurred witqWut le to tion; and therefore it is not the interest or the duty of the pc" stimulate the Government to acts of extravagance." Mr. 'WILLIAMS seconded the amendment. those The Cnatammi said as Mr. Vincent had not been interrupted LI vt to in favour of the objetts of the meeting, he trusted he would at teinl" b: obtain a hearing for one who would answer those arguments whi c"‘ had advanced. The confusion, am The CI CHAIRMAN put , the question, idst and declared the resolution car ried' but the party of Mr. Vincent most vehemently claimed the victory. The CHAIRMAN was very sorry that there was so much clamour , those at the lower part of the room did not understand the manner which the proceedings were put. He had done his duty y+ and he could not consent to put the question again. M. VINCENT appeared on the platform and demanded a d ivi 'Ti i n ; and i r n compliance with his gestures, his party made a rush to ea left of the room. The other parties went to the ri g ht, and outnumber their opponents amidst loud The CHAIRMAN again declared cheers. that the resolution was indisputahll carried.

Much doubt existed as to the length of ten °os the accused had been deaf and dumb; he himself could state 11. 00 0 positive on the subject, but it clearly appeared he hod not been °lC at infancy. Parrot seemed to be from 25 to 30 years of age ; po ritc d his button-hole the ribbon ofJuly—he asserts that he was onc e P l il - panit to the King of the French and to the King of England, t° ( 5- 5 00'; model of a machine intended to supersede the moving power P t ' s' On being brought into Court, the prisoner insisted upon 1 1 : 41 , 1 0 " Se?, over the President's chair a paper, on which were written , l 'pre': A lisp, the words " Deaf and Dumb." It appeared that Parrot ' l rr ife v from England in September 1837. On the 20th of January h e 11 1,0. 0 ' at Lyons, and went to a street inhabited by prostitutes, none o f ~c o st l it seems, would admit him. On th e 23d h e wen t again to th e " t Obe ,i ' Guichard, about seven in the evenin g , w hen he i s s a id to hav e ~ ,tea'r . her in the abdomen wilh a knife, which he rai s ed up to the -„fter, The woman was taken to the hospital where she died in six claY l ' having several times declared that the deaf and dumb matt svc:at murderer. Parrot first denied having gone to the woman's I. ° )°— , c 'th on the 23d, but afterwards stated that on th a t d a y he had ln e, ` f ise lf man with whom he drank a bottle of wine ; this ma n called ~:t he a shoemaker, and asked the accused to go with bin , 1 3 0 woman Guichard to get back some money she had stolen fr° /11 ,,1ie l some days before, when there arose a qu a rr e l, i n which they P „ 1 / O /c , against each other, and the prisoner felt the d ecease d robbing b in ' five-franc pieces he had in his waistcoat ; —he states that the sheeftlll, having struggled with the woman to share the plunder then g 3- d, al l blow with a knife. Several disreputable witnesses were exatein°.ooff of whom declared that they heard the deceased cry out of the vlv that the dumb man had killed her. The accused was most fended by his Counsel, who stated it did not appear to him that th e ,osv soner had been deaf and dumb from childhood ; but that it s eeme d ,stic probable some great injury had at once paralysed the lingual and ac ,..,iltie': nerves, aswell as produced a degree of confusion in his intellectual fa'"rois' The man seemed to have some recollection of several languages he oe formerly have spoken. The language he produced in his notes ehte``' mixture of French, English, Flemish, Italian, Latin, and even O f t oco e As he mixed the words so he confounded the syntax of each 0 t languages. The syntax of children seemed to be the most fantili 3.. ', ;nit , He never writes but in the third person, which som e times gives O le t tliVg t, his thoughts. The accused being asked if he wished to add 31, 0 0 0 to his defence, handed a note bearing these words :—" The du"' jea° swears by the gates of paradise that he is innocent : if y° ° CO t . " o he s him and nail him to the cross, you bring him nearer o i c, ven—they know not what they do." In presenting this a c a made a most energetic sign to symbolize the oath. The J ury a " uitt him. A large sum of money was collected for Parrot. 10 1.11‘ A few minutes before one o ' clock on Alond a Y 0 00' ing, as police-constable Stead, 1' 181, was on duty in the l'farlb c o u r 03 11, road, Chelsea, he was informed that a young female, named Ell of considerable personal attractions, about 17 years of age , r- r o ctri o D - No. 1, Green Lettuce-lane, adjoining the sign of the Admire of_de ton, Marlborough-road, had made a m os t desperate attempt 31 lug t° struction, by swallowing a qu an tit y o f oxa li c ac id.
